Description of problem: Gparted crashes when doing a drive scan if flash drive is plugged in. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.14.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gparted 2. Insert USB drive 3. Re-scan drives Actual results: gparted crashes (/usr/sbin/gparted: line 99: 3647 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $BASE_CMD) Expected results: Drive scan to complete; USB drive to become visible Additional info: I have not been able to isolate the exact nature of the drive or drive setup that is causing this. The problematic drive is 8Gb in capacity. I tested it with a 4Gb drive and a 4Gb SD card in the laptop's internal SD slot. Reproducible in all USB ports. Computer is a Dell Inspiron 1545. I had updated to gparted-0.14.1-1.fc17 as requested by deji - I was experiencing bug 903366, which is fixed in version 0.14.1.
GParted uses the libparted library from the parted project to detect and manipulate partitions. To test if this problem is in the underlying libparted library, would you be able to run the following command (as root) and let us know what happens? parted -l or if you know the device path (for example /dev/sde) parted /dev/sde unit s print

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
